Historic Home Restoration - Journey With Us

This month we were honored and delighted to pass a huge milestone; over one MILLION hours of views on this channel that started as a complete accident.
We've spent 23 of the 26 years of our marriage working in preservation, restoration and home rehabilitation. We are old timers at this preservation game, AND we are old timers with YouTube. But we mean old OLLLD timers! When we first started enjoying this platform you couldn't upload a video longer than 3 minutes! So, like many old people, it took us a minute to realize the incredible opportunity YouTube gave us to increase our reach with our message of "save all the old houses!!".

Just over a year ago we uploaded our first historic home tour video that shot to popularity and was shared across the platform. Then, you spoke and we listened and we began sharing our DIY home rehabilitation work with you (NOT renovation; there's a huge difference and we know you know).

We realized we had the chance to share with you our knowledge of architectural history, and the incredible narrative the evolution of this nations built environment. We also realized there was a hunger for content that showed the reality of DIY preservation; real people, real timelines, real budgets, real planning, real work and real results. This is NOT the place to come if you want to learn how to replace historic windows or bust through walls. This is the place you come to see and learn how to carefully and appropriately restore your historic home.

We hope that over this year you've seen that preservation isn't just for an elite, wealthy group. Preservation is for everyone, and recycling our already built homes can solve housing crisis and save the environment. Old homes are the best homes, and we get to be their ambassadors and caretakers while we are here.

We thank you for joining us here as we have started sharing our passion for historic architecture with you, and hopefully teaching you something along the way.
